Am I Eligible to File a Case?

Unless a burn injury was caused by another’s negligence, you do not have a case. Since negligence is difficult to prove, it is recommended that you work with an experienced attorney who understands the four elements of negligence.

There are four elements of negligence, duty of care, breach of duty of care, causation and damages. The duty of care is a legal obligation to act with reasonable care to help prevent an injury. A breach occurs through another’s actions or failure to act. Causation refers to the link between the injury and the breached duty of care. Finally, damages refers to the financial, physical and emotional toll of an injury. All four elements must be proven to have an opportunity to recover compensation.

There can be many examples of negligent behavior that could lead to a burn injury. For example, a smoke alarm could be broken or in need of a new battery. If the alarm would have alerted someone to a fire and prevented him or her from suffering a burn injury, there may be a case for negligence against the property owner.

There can also be burn injury claims against product manufacturers when a product defect results in severe burn injuries. Serious burn injuries could also occur in motor vehicle accidents, if a fuel tank explodes and the victim is trapped in his or her vehicle.

TheNational Fire Protection Associationhas found that most deaths from fires happen in the home, and they are caused by things like kitchen fires, smoking, bad wiring and space heaters. In these situations, the property owner may hold liability for failing to fix problems or make necessary upgrades to reduce the risk of a fire.

As each situation is unique, you should discuss things with a Flagstaff burn injury lawyer in a free consultation to find out if you may have grounds for legal action.

Burn Injury Compensation That May be Available

Treatment for a burn injury is quite expensive, when you factor how long treatment can last and all that is involved, from prescription medications and surgeries to pain medication and follow-up medical appointments.

If negligence was involved in your injury, you may be eligible to pursue compensation for the current and future cost of your medical bills.

However, there could be many other forms of financial compensation available, as a burn injury can affect many aspects of your life. You may miss time from work because you are physically unable to go to work. If you must change careers or obtain training to do a different kind of job, you may be able to obtain compensation for this.

The pain you experience could also be claimed in an injury case. Our attorneys can explain how we put a value on this, as there is no defined monetary value for physical pain. Emotional suffering could also be compensable, and our Flagstaff burn injury lawyers may be able to use medical records, your own account of your suffering, and testimony from medical experts to help prove your level of emotional suffering.

There is limited time to take legal action so it is important to contact us right away so we can determine what your claim may be worth.

Why is it Important to Contact a Lawyer Quickly?

Besides the fact that legal claims have certain deadlines, you should also contact a lawyer quickly because the other side will get to work quickly attempting to escape liability for the accident that resulted in your burn injury.

For instance, the insurance company will likely contact you for a statement and to fish for information they can use against you. They may ask a lot of question designed to get you to say you were partially to blame for the accident or to minimize the severity of your injuries.

It is very important that you use caution when talking to the insurance company. You do not have to say much beyond the basic facts of the accident and that you are seeking treatment. Talking about the severity of your injuries is a bad idea. Without realizing it, you could say something that minimizes the extent of your injuries and this could come back to hurt you later in the legal process.

You have the option of referring the insurance company to your attorney, who can deal with them exclusively on your behalf. Our Flagstaff burn injury lawyers know how to defend your best interests when talking to the insurance company because we have many years of combined experience negotiating with insurance companies and protecting clients’ best interests.

Categories of Burn Injuries

Burn injuries are classified by their severity, in one of three degrees:

• First-degree”“ These are the least severe, as they only affect the outer layer of your skin. After about a week, they are likely to heal and should not require treatment in the hospital.
• Second-degree”“ This occurs when the burn goes into the inner and outer layers of skin. The skin may have a bright red or pinkish hue and it could be that way for several weeks. There can also be painful blisters.
• Third-degree”“ These are the most severe because they get all the way down to tissues, muscles and bones. There can be extensive scarring and victims will likely need skin grafts.

Treatment of these injuries can be very expensive and long-lasting. When patients need skin grafts it exposes them to other risks, such as excessive bleeding and infections. The pain can also require prescription medication and can make it very difficult for victims to continue working as they did before or have the same relationships with family members.

I felt they were more my friends than my personal injury lawyer and that isn't something you're taught it's something you have inside. If I ever needed a lawyer again Phillips Law Group Injury Lawyers would be my only choice. I can't recommend them enough. They are professional on every level and compassionate throughout. Thank you for everything.

When in pain because of an accident all you want to do is focus on getting better and that is what did thanks to this firm. My family and I were set up with a Dr and Chiro right away. The treatment we received was great. I am extremely thankful for all the help we received and the outcome on the cases. Thanks to everyone involved on my case. A special thanks the intake specialist Rosalba who was very kind on the phone when I first called. I highly recommend this firm to anyone, they treat you like family.

Erika A.

I am so thankful for Ruthann and Maria. They both were amazing throughout the process. When Maria took over my case, I felt like I was being treated with empathy about my pain and experiences while treating. She also made sure to answer my questions. Maria always responded to my communication attempts and answered questions I had as they came up. She helped me with things I needed in regards to my case and helped ease the anxiety as bills piled up and my injuries were still being treated. I was able to contact her as I was treating and she helped find providers closer to my home to make it more accommodating for me. This helped me juggle work...

Latosha E.

What can I say about Phillips Law group. I was involved in a major car accident and sustained injuries. I looked up for Law Firms in Arizona and stumbled across Phillips Law Group. I decided to give them a call about my accident, and they were very respectful and took in my case immediately. They assigned me Tim LeDuc to represent me. From the beginning, he was very responsive and made sure to give me the proper care I deserved from this accident. Him and his team fought tooth and nail to give me the best settlement I deserved. I am so thankful, and I highly recommend Phillips Law Group to represent anyone who has been in any accident and...

My case closed yesterday and I RAN to make this review because of how exceptional my experience has been with Phillips Law Group! I received the best settlement I could've hoped for and am extremely happy with the outcome; but I especially wanted to shout out and give praise to Julianna, the Litigation Paralegal on my case. From the moment Julianna was assigned to my case almost two years ago, until the completion of the settlement process yesterday, Julianna's commitment to exceptional customer service, clear communication, and unwavering support truly stood out. I had so many questions -- from the legal process, to where to seek medical treatment, to questions about medical bills, to the negotiation process, and more --...

I am very impressed by how much care and effort this group puts into helping the homeless. That’s not something you see enough, especially in this time of increasing need for community. It’s important to me to work with companies that align with my views, and I would definitely go to Phillips for any future personal injury lawyer needs.

Just would like to share my experience with Phillips And Associates. Ever since my accident in the first of the year, it was a life changing event for me and I finally decided to go with a personal injury attorney. I contacted Phillips And Associates and they made me feel like I was an actual person instead of a lot of other firms try to go with me like a number, Phillips And Associates has reached out to me in a kind, courteous and caring way they fully understand on the circumstances of the accident So far, Phillips And Associates has been absolutely wonderful. I truly recommend going with Phillips And Associates. Thanks (RuthAnn), your the Best!!! And Thank you...

My experience with Phillips Law Group was outstanding. They have represented me in two different cases and Kurt Maahs and his team have helped me every step of the way, Tracy and Hannah were always prompt in answering my emails. Nasser helped get me the settlement I desired. If you ever need representation from a firm who shows they care Phillips Law Group is a firm who shows they genuinely have the interest of their client. Thanks for all y’all did for my family and me. If ever I need representation again. Y’all will be my first choice.

Renae M.

When visiting Arizona my husband and I were driving through an intersection when a car ran a red light and tboned us. I hit my head on the window and later found out I had a concussion and whip lash. I wasn’t sure how to navigate a car accident and called Phillips based on their good reviews. My attorney and his paralegal were with me every step of the way and ensured my healing process was the top priority. After many treatments and 14 months later I finally feel better, not 100% but in much better condition. Philips was able to get me compensated for my medical and for ongoing medical expenses, without them I never would have recouped medical...
